WARM BOOT (SOFT RESET)

“Warm boot” is also known as “soft reset”. When the mobile computer runs slower than

normal or when one or more active applications crash, perform warm boot to close all active

applications and restart the mobile computer without turning off power supply to hardware.

After warm boot, all flash memory, system settings and clock/calendar time are kept, and

all saved data are preserved. However unsaved data is gone after warm boot if the warm

boot is performed when the application in question is still running.

To perform “warm boot”:

 Poke the reset toggle using the stylus.

COLD BOOT (HARD RESET)

“Cold boot” is also known as “hard reset”. In case one or more applications are misbehaving

and the mobile computer doesn’t cooperate, perform cold boot as the final act.

“Cold boot” restarts the mobile computer by turning power off just like pulling the battery

and then powering on again. As “Cold boot” initializes DRAM, all data cached in DRAM is

gone after cold boot. However all flash memory, system settings and clock/calendar time

are preserved.

To perform “cold boot”:

 Press and hold the physical Power button and poke the reset toggle.

Note Power button should be held down and not released until the mobile computer

powers on again.

 Simply reload main battery and re-power on the mobile computer.
